One thing you didn’t realize you actually need

Thanks to this pandemic, and living the same life every day
I realized how many boring things we do, unnoticed anyway

I found an app, to turn flashlight on, whenever I shake my phone
I found another app, to keep my phone unlocked, when I’m home
I found another app, that reads out incoming OTPs and messages
I found another app, for handy shortcuts to folders and images
I found another app, that rings an alarm when I have over-slept
I found another app, to detect when I’m home, and auto-connect
I found another app, that changes themes, based on my choices
I found another app, to go full volume, when there are noises
I found another app, to enter vibrate mode, while in my pocket
I found another app, to stop overcharging, when left in a socket
I found another app, to first read the caller’s name out loud
I found another app, to backup my files directly onto the cloud
I found another app, that turns GPS on, only while I use Uber
I found another app, to show notifications even on my computer
I found another app, to set airplane mode, throughout the night
I found another app, to handle my focus, by turning black & white
I found another app, to control my phone just by voice commands
I found another app, to play the next song, by waving my hands
I found another app, to send an auto-reply while I’m taking a nap
I found another app, to finish tens of things, just on a single tap
I found another app, that detects and records all my sleep time
I found another app, to tell me the time every hour, like a chime
I found another app, to play music whenever I plug in my headset
I found another app, that reminds me things that I often forget
I found another app, that starts music, just by turning my JBL on
I found another app, to wake me up and read me news right at dawn
I found another app, to open different apps, based on fingerprints
I found another app, to silent my phone, as long as I’m in meetings
I found another app, to stop playing music, as soon as I’m asleep
I found another app, to auto unlock my phone on tapping my screen
I found another app, to swipe posts in apps, using my volume keys
I found another app, that reads out the contents of a chrome webpage
I found another app, to read out my new emails & whatsapp messages
I found another app, to automatically authorize my Okta requests
I found another app, to turn silent temporarily, based on my inputs
I found another app, to wake my phone as I take it into my hands
I found another app, that rotates screen only when I watch a video

At last, I found this unbelievable app that can do everything above
After using it day by day, and task after task, it has earned my love
Turning your phone into a personal assistant, doesn’t need a master
As long as you are using an android phone, all you need is Tasker
